Annual Report2010

Review of the Past Five Years

        Founded in 2005, the International Poverty Reduction Center in China (IPRCC) is not only an institution directly  responsible to the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development (LGOP), but also an international institution for poverty reduction research, cooperation and exchange.  IPRCC has a Director-General  reportable to the leadership of Board of Trustees (BoT). The  BoT includes the LGOP,  Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, UNDP, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, UK DFID and Chinese Association for International Understanding.
        Over the past five years,  with the guidance of the CPC and relevant leaders of the country, under the direct leadership of the LGOP, and with the support of the  Trustees, relying on China's successful experience in poverty reduction and development, the IPRCC has  fully imparted  the role of a platform for international exchanges in the field of poverty reduction and a channel for South-South Cooperation, and strived to contribute to poverty eradication in the world. After 5 years’ hard work, the Center has basically completed the construction of infrastructure and business systems. With the tenet of "contributing to poverty eradication in the world", aiming at "establishing an international poverty reduction training brand, innovating the exchange mechanism for international poverty reduction, building a research platform for international poverty reduction, and exploring international cooperation model for poverty reduction", focusing on  "conducting poverty reduction research, sharing development experiences, promoting international exchanges and South-South cooperation", IPRCC has completed a series of work  efficiently and effectively. It had a positive impact at home and abroad and was affirmed and praised by government departments, international organizations, development agencies, research institutes, civil society etc:
        -- Remarkable results have been  achieved in institution and team  building.  IPRCC has initially formed a capable high-quality poverty reduction and development team which is willing to endure hardship.
        --Considerable progress has been made in business development. IPRCC carried out the work orderly in five areas: research, training, communication, cooperation and information  sharing.
        -- It has won wide attention and recognition from the international community.
        Looking back, IPRCC has laid a solid foundation,  broadened the horizons, expanded the fields and achieved  positive results. Looking  forward, IPRCC will, according to China's diplomatic strategy and foreign aid policy, keep forging ahead and innovating actively, and comprehensively promote the development of various undertakings of the Center in an effort to make greater contributions to poverty eradication across the world!

A Message from the Chairman

        The year 2010 has just passed by. Under the leadership of the LGOP and BoT, with the care and support from the  Trustees’ units and all circles of society, IPRCC has made  commendable achievements.  IPRCC has done solid work in innovating theoretical research, training on brand building, broadening channels of communications, strengthening cooperation in poverty alleviation, expanding information exchange and fostering a top-class team etc., which further demonstrated the Center's style, features and vitality.

In the new year, we will further broaden the research vision and grasp the new trends, review new experiences and discuss new problems; highlight focus, improve quality and bring into full play the role of IPRCC's think tank in an effort to make new contributions to poverty elimination and  development of a harmonious society of justice! I believe, under the leadership of the LGOP and BoT of IPRCC, led by Director-General Xu Hui, IPRCC will  certainly make persistent efforts to achieve greater results.

A Testimonial from the Director-General

        In 2010, according to China's diplomatic strategy, IPRCC strived to well understand the international situation for poverty reduction and development and made considerable progress in its work. It has conducted 17 topical studies, compiled and published 13 research works, and printed 3 major core journals. It has successfully organized 8 international seminars on poverty reduction; and four large high-level international conferences including 10.17 Poverty Reduction and Development Forum etc. IPRCC has promoted  cooperation between Africa and Latin America in the field of  poverty reduction. It has also compiled the "Yearbook of China's Poverty Alleviation and Development (2010) ".   IPRCC has  successfully completed all the responsibilities and tasks for this year.
We made the above-mentioned achievements mainly depending on the  guidance and strong support from the BoT and the  units of IPRCC, the assistance of relevant departments  as well as related international organizations and institutions, the correct leadership of LGOP and the hard work of all IPRCC staff as well. At this moment, I would like to express to you my sincere respect and heartfelt thanks!
        Based on the development direction and targets for the next stage, the Centre organized a wide range of in-depth discussions and research and formed a consensus, and finally determined the overall development objective for the 12th Five-year Plan Period. That is: According to the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 17th Central Committee of the CPC, the requirements of accelerating the transformation of the mode of development, and the needs of international poverty reduction and domestic poverty alleviation and development, based on the country's diplomatic strategy and foreign aid policy, as well as the target of realizing "Outline for Poverty Alleviation and Development of China's Rural Areas (2001-2010) ", through 5 years' hard work,  we will strive to initially make IPRCC a think tank for international poverty reduction and development, and for development of foreign aid policy, an influential training base for poverty reduction and development at home and abroad, a poverty reduction and social development forum, a platform for information exchange in the field of poverty reduction and development, and an implementation agency for foreign aid cooperative projects as well.
        Looking ahead, we know there is still a long way to go. IPRCC will make every effort to carefully organize the research, training, communication and cooperation for sharing international experiences in poverty reduction and help developing countries improve their poverty reduction capacity and effectiveness  to contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals and building a harmonious world.

Outlook on the 12th Five-Year Plan 

        After 5 years’ hard work, IPRCC has basically completed the construction of infrastructure and the business system. With the tenet of "contributing to poverty eradication across the world", aiming at "establishing an international poverty reduction training brand, innovating the exchange mechanism for international poverty reduction, building a research platform for international poverty reduction, and exploring international cooperation model for poverty reduction", focusing on "conducting poverty reduction research, sharing development experiences, promoting international exchanges and South-South cooperation", IPRCC has completed a series of work  efficiently and effectively. It had a positive impact at home and abroad and was  recognized and  commended by government departments, international organizations, development agencies, research institutes, civil society etc. At present, it has entered the critical period of "concentrating on highlighting the focus to make quality products".
        The overall development objective of IPRCC for the 12th Five-year Plan Period is: According to the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 17th Central Committee of the CPC, the requirements of accelerating the transformation of the mode of development, and the needs of international  and domestic poverty alleviation and development, based on the country's diplomatic strategy and foreign aid policy, as well as the target of realizing "Outline for Poverty Alleviation and Development of China's Rural Areas (2001-2010) ", through 5 years' hard work,   the organisation will strive to initially make IPRCC a think tank for international poverty reduction and development, and for development of foreign aid policy, an influential training base for poverty reduction and development at home and abroad, a poverty reduction and social development forum, a platform for information exchange in the field of poverty reduction and development, and an implementation agency for foreign aid cooperative projects as well.
        IPRCC should  provide full importance to the dissemination of the poverty reduction achievements and experiences with Chinese characteristics and make full use of the advantages of   developments in international dialogues in the field of poverty reduction.  Through the process IPRCC would work to make  it a window to present China's experience in poverty reduction, a platform for international exchange and cooperation in the field of poverty reduction, and a  carrier of services of China's “Outgoing” strategy   to make greater contributions to poverty eradication across the world!
